X-Message-Number: 5056 Date: Fri, 27 Oct 95 07:16:22 PDT From: Doug Baldwin <> Subject: excessive off-topic reposts by David Stodolsky Dear Fellow Cryonics Interseted Individuals: I have complained privately and publicly in the past about what I believe are excessive off-topic reposts by David Stodolsky. I feel the need to complain again. I thought this was the 'Cryonet' list. The lawyer joke below is definitely not cryonics related. As I was reading it I was expecting the punch line to be something about the lawyer being suspended/frozen. Not only did that not happen, the joke ISN'T even FUNNY. Why should we be subjected to this crap if it doesn't even have any redeeming value? What is wrong with this guy? What is the procedure for blocking posts by repeated offenders? I feel this is an abuse of the list and Stodolsky obviously has no intention of stopping these offensive postings. I apologize in advance for potentially generating a controversy but I am fed up with this bull. > >Message #5054 >From: (David Stodolsky) >Subject: Fwd: Lawyer >Date: Thu, Oct 95 22:41:15 +0100 > >Forward of article <> () by (Joe Block): >Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny >From: (Joe Block) >Subject: Lawyer >Date: Wed, 25 Oct 95 4:30:02 EDT > > >The receptionist at the lawyers office answers her phone, "Johnson and >Lewis, attorneys at law."
